The Firmware Page

Hi!

I have a UJ-85JS drive. It has the firmware FYX4, for which there is no RPC-1 firmware.
However there is for the FWR7

Now, while browsing I found the "Simple flash" program by ben11 which should "force" the loading of a different firmware onto a drive.
That program came with some firmware for different drives, but not for the UJ-85JS and FWR7.

So my question is: does anyone have the FWR7 files needed to put FWR7 onto the drive ?

I am willing to eat my hat that the drives having the FYX4 and FWR7 are identical in every way apart from the data on the chips, so I would very much like to try to put FWR7 firmware on the drive, see if it works, and then flash that.

Check your PM.

Thanks!

It worked. I ran the SimpleFlash program with the .dat file, and after a minute of buzzing the success message came up, I restarted, and DVD Info X agrees with me that the drive is RPC-1. Just played Dark City from two regions

Fine . Have you checked if the drive still reads/writes CDs and writes DVDs ?
